How well will this kit work for woodcarving and small-medium detail in wood sculpture? Thanks!

Works great for wood, you can also do engraving with the very fine pointed ones.

Evan, it's really amazing") I've no complaints but I would suggest buying a secure case to keep them in place..GO FOR IT!!

More or less depends how much material you intend to remove. For finishing these are very suitable, but for roughing HSS burrs are much more efficient (faster and they will not filled as quick as these).

These are for detail and only removes small amounts of material to create detail. Removing larger amounts takes more time but these burrs will cut regardless of the hardness of the wood such as knots and such. To remove more material faster for shaping I think larger burrs are available. I really like using these burrs. You lose a few diamonds at first that are not set solidly but there are plenty left for hard working. The price is great!

I don't do woodcarving. I have used it on very rare occasions to clean fish. My guess if you're going to use it while manipulating very small pieces of wood it probably wouldn't work for you. But if you're carving wooden lures it might be worth a look.

I would say yes. In a small enough and light enough so you can use it on small parts certainly adequate for wood and plastic.

I used my tool for cutting and detail sanding. . For those two jobs it's great... never did any sculpting sorry. . But am sure you could use this tool for it if that's what you want to do.

Hi Martin,This is the best kit out there. Just follow the directions and it should work perfectly. Thanks for your interest.FrankCalli Books

It is accurate for the woodworking that I do. I used it to setup angles in U.S. Flag cases that I build. I have checked it against a wixie angle cube and they both are dead on.

My first questions would be how big is the doll and what type of paint do you use. If they are, say the same size as a Barbie doll to about 24" tall doll, this will be perfect. This air-brush comes with the .2 needle {for fine detail work} the .3 needle {for mid range} and .5 needle {large} I've sprayed both enamels and acrylics. Easy clean up, and needle change. The kit does come with everything you need, EVERYTHING. I myself use the .2 needle most of the time for my 1/48th scale model painting{styrene plastic} for camouflage,and some smaller pieces. I did purchase a second air-brush for clear coating. Fewer headaches, {less chance of cross contamination of paint} less chance of clogging. I do like all my Master series of air-brushes. But to be fair, I think the Point Zero air-brush is better. Model # PZ-260XS also a complete kit .2,.3,.5 needles,nozzles and cups. This can also do the same job, same connection as the Master. I prefer the Point Zero, softer trigger, better control, smoother paint flow, handles paint changes easier. At the price, and like I said having 2 {1 for painting,1 for clear coats} is a better way to go. IF YOU CLEAR COAT. If you just need one, I'd say the Point Zero kit. I hope this is not tooo long winded an answer, and does help. One side note if you need to purchase a compressor, be sure to get one with a reservoir tank. All the best of luck.

I cannot answer that question since I have no experince in that area. What I can saw is it sharpens SLOW. Good enough for me. What I might suggest is you look to see what is available in art stores or other stores and see if the price is better on Amazon.

absolutely, the biggest mistake beginners make is thinking you must have a huge assortment of tools. Think of what cuts you need to make and how to adapt the tools you have. Take your time, enjoy, improvise if need be but above all ENJOY!!! Carving is very satisfying!

It probably would be alright I was useing on jewelery and I find it doesn't hold up to water over time,but for Sculpty clay it should work fine.

yes with no problem.... you would need to use a straight cut bit, 1/4" or maybe even a little smaller 1/8" just take it easy and it would work fine.. you can do some amazing things with this tool.... you ought to see some of the artwork I have done with it.....

U will need a primer that is not included, and a the brushes r kinda small. Might want to get a larger one, other than that, this kit has it all

Hi,I haven't used mine yet on my wood carving project, so I don't know how effective the mask is. I don't use power sanders, so it may be different with hand sanding.

I used this for hollowing a long rectangular bowl...You have got to be careful, as it is an aggressive tool..but once you get the hang if it...it is really nice..made especially for sculpting..just practice first on scrap wood....then pull put the good stuff...

great for fine detail woodworking-I make flutes- I would not put them in my rotary as the shank is not to strong I use beads and some (natural) are very hard. moes scale vs. shank strenth

I have used this on plywood on several occasions with great results. With the four blade inserts and the 24 tooth outer blades I have had no complaints on any material I have used this on. I have used it several times a week for around two years and the carbide still looks great. It is by far the best dado set I have used in my 25+ years of woodworking. I would buy it again without question. Good luck.

How many faces could I paint with this kit if I am just doing small 2 inch designs?
